Welcome dear readers to the latest issue of the Weekly Gazette! Here in the Gazette, we give you the news in brief of what occurred in the past week as well as provide any news happening in Save-Point itself

Official Area

General Chat

Serious espionage charges hit this week's News of the World, two men charged within the U.K. for giving government secrets since 2021, and two others in Germany giving military secrets that could assist China's navy. Protestors at universities in the U.S. are not just anti-Semetic but aligning with Hamas itself. Seen no longer as free speech but instead hate speech, many see these groups threatening the lives of Jewish students. Arguments within the U.S. Supreme court over Presidential Immunity has exchanges favoring Donald Trump, claims that erasing immunity would herald U.S. Presidents pardoning themselves days before leaving office, and citing other nations that actively prosecuted opponents that sought office. With the recent Russia/Ukranian conflict having global repercussions, the U.K. arrested a would-be arsonist plotting to torch Ukranian businesses while recommending fellow NATO members increase defense spending despite some members not even maintaining their current obligations. The U.S. Attorney General himself facing contempt charges against Congress for not disclosing subpoenaed evidence, the French Navy found involved in illegal migrant trafficking across the channel, a Chinese container ship not unlike Baltimore Harbor’s damaging an undersea gas pipeline and more hit this week's news.

Games Development

Development Discussion

Were you to ask What's up among RMers, the answer would be that Steel Beast 6Beets is having technical difficulties with a script by kyonides. After taking DerVVulfman's instruction to sort through what other scripts were within his project causing the dilemma, Steel Beast 6Beets found the issue was the script alone. Remi-chan threw in a few jabs at his history of repeated bug fixes while providing another mockup from her current game. And after kyonides heard about the issue Steel Beast 6Beets is having, how its actor selective feature is not functioning, he replied he would look into the matter.

Upcoming Projects

New promotional art has now been made available for BlueSkies 3. Along with its posting, Starmage performed some maintenance and cleaned up her thread.

Material Development

Scripts Database

Coinciding with the recent discussion among RMers, kyonides updaed the RPGMaker XP port of KEquipSkills, the fix taking care of equipment checks that returned invalid nil responses to armor or weapons not defined.

Art and Design

A new render of the Chaos Goddess can now be found within Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing. Another likeness of the Goddess of Garbage as dressed in her traditional gown, cloth cap and blue scarf is present, but with both angel wings and devil spade tail. And as she is oft to do, a speed-draw of her rendering was made available.

Well, that's it for this week.
